Today I was going to discuss supplies and supplying yourself for the oncoming zombie storm. A natural event occurred last night that changed my plans. As a resident of Washington D.C. I live in a city that is not prepared for snow. That got me thinking about the effects of snow on zombies.
Zombies, being creatures without higher brain function, are ill suited to cold weather. Your average zombie is not going to stop and put on a coat. I know many people will say, "But they're already dead!" If there is a functioning brain, even one without higher brain function, there has to be some blood flowing. Even if there isn't, flesh freezes. The other thing to keep in mind is that the body is more than 50% water. The cold presents a real danger to zombies. They will be slower. They will be stiffer. They may be frozen solid. This is when your simple weapon comes in handy. Zombies will be more delicate in the cold. Smash them. Because they pose less danger then usual, the cold gives you an unmatched chance to improve your zombie killing technique. Use the time given to you to prepare for the spring.
The real danger comes when you find people who were bitten while wearing winter clothes. They won't be impeded by the cold. In that instance you need to fall back on standard zombie survival practices. Be careful. Be cautious. Be safe.
